The pros are arriving this week for the 2011 Valero TexasOpen. For those who were here last year, the TPC SanAntonio AT&T Oaks Course will look somewhat familiar, but some changes have been made.

Pro golfer David Ogrin, who plays the course frequently, breaks down the 7,522-yard, par-72 course for the San Antonio Express-News:

The AT&T Oaks Course at TPC SanAntonio was designed by Greg Norman to test the best players in the world to the limit of their abilities. That makes it a very difficult golf course.

Amateurs, locals, and tourists must remember that this course will eat your lunch, but here’s a glimpse of how a pro sees it.

Norman has a running theme: Drive it straight, be precise, and—if you miss—right is better than left.
